The local dealership remains the seller
Amazon Autos' shopping FAQ identifies participating local dealerships as the sellers or lessors of the listed vehicles. Its shopping sequence includes selecting financing, leasing or cash, submitting a credit application online, and visiting the dealership for a test drive and final steps. amazon.com
This is a vehicle transaction channel, separate from Amazon's parts-and-accessories storefront. A store considering participation needs to connect its advertised vehicle, the online credit workflow and the actual pickup appointment; the Amazon listing does not replace the dealership's physical handoff. amazon.com
